We are looking at running MPIO for it's redundancy and load balancing benefits. Does anyone know what pieces of software or modules are needed on the VIO server to get load balancing to work.

Hi
I would like to ask what the benefits are of changing from RDAC to MPIO when connecting to a DS4000 on AIX 5.3? I have heard that IBM MPIO "might" support more than 1 active path to a LUN when connecting to a DS4800 through more than 1 host connection on the same AIX client. I understand that... (8 Replies)

Can anyone recommend me some reading material surrounding how AIX handles LUNs:
- with and without MPIO installed
- with and without SDD or SDDPCM installed
Where does lspath sit in all of this (MPIO layer?). Can a system be built with just MPIO software? Is MPIO software even needed?
I guess... (0 Replies)

Hi,
I was trying to uninstall the native MPIO driver on the AIX 6.1 machine we have in our lab and ran into a whole bunch dependent filesets initially. I deleted the disks, fcsX, fscsiX, fcnetX and tried again, but ran into the same error.
Subsequently, I figured out that the OS disks in... (4 Replies)

Hi folks.
We want to move a "physical" AIX box to a VIOed LPAR. The physical box is running SDD with disks from a DS8300. I want to be able to reattach those LUNs from the DS8300 to my VIO server which is running SDDPCM and then assigned them back to my AIX LPAR. Any thoughts about this?
